see channel from command line

[mierdatuti]

Hi,
I have a TV CARD Tdt and vlc in Ubuntu. When I see some tv channels on vlc I have to do "vlc channels.conf" to load the playlist of the channel and then I select the channel that I would like to see.

I would like to know if there is some way to execute vlc from terminal with a parameter that it was the channel. For instance: vlc channelFour. And vlc opens with channelFour to see.

Any help please?
Many thanks and sorry for my english!

In principle, you can do it as:

Code: Select all

vlc dvb://FREQUENCY_PARAMETERS --program PID

You can find the needed info in the channels.conf file.
